"But the 36-year-old defender's contract has now been terminated a year early by mutual consent after a torrid spell, with Boateng chalking up just 13 appearances for the club since the free transfer following a wealth of injury issues. Just months after his arrival in Austria, Boateng avoided jail time but was handed a suspended fine and a warning after a German court found him guilty of premeditated bodily harm against his ex-girlfriend."
"The mother of his twin daughters accused Boateng of hurling a lamp at her, which missed, during a fight they had on holiday in 2018 - and then of injuring her arm by throwing a small cool box at her and later hitting her and pulling her hair. Boateng was ordered to pay a total of just over £84,000 to charity organisations by the judge, a court spokesperson said in July 2024, while the suspended fine of just over £168,000 only had to be paid if he committed another offence."
Jerome Boateng signed a two-year deal with Austrian top-flight club LASK Linz on May 31 after leaving Bayern Munich. The 36-year-old defender's contract was terminated a year early by mutual consent three matches into the new season, ending a turbulent 15-month spell. He made only 13 appearances due to a series of injury problems. A German court found him guilty of premeditated bodily harm against his ex-girlfriend, resulting in a suspended fine, a warning and charity payments. LASK fans booed and chanted abuse during matches. Boateng thanked the club and said the experience was enriching as he seeks a fresh chapter.
